Why Attend the Weekend? Because managing diabetes often requires a change in lifestyle, family support is needed. Many activities of daily living must be considered, including the food consumed, medication schedule, and activity level. Setebaid Services®, Inc., in cooperation with the Northeast Association of Diabetes Educators of Pennsylvania (NEADE), hosts this Weekend to serve the families of children with diabetes. The primary purpose of the weekend is to establish a network of support and assist families in coping with the daily struggles of managing diabetes. Who Should Attend the Weekend? Children with diabetes, ages 3-12 Parents, brothers, sisters, and other siblings Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other adult caregivers Resort Facilities Split Rock Resort truly offers something for everyone. If you are ready for relaxation, take a dip in the pool, lounge in the whirlpool, schedule a massage, or catch a movie in the movie theater. If you prefer outdoor relaxation, take a hike and view the lake. Weekend activities include: Silly Family Olympics Saturday Evening Entertainment Children's games Adult diabetes education sessions Location Split Rock Resort, located in the Poconos, is less than 1 1/2 hours from Philadelphia and less than 2 hours from New York City, yet is a world away in atmosphere. Less than 5 miles from the intersection of the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension and Interstate 80, it is easily accessible from a multitude of major interstates. Children's Activities The weekend will be divided into tracts. There will be some periods where the entire family will be together, like meal times and bedtime. There will be other times when the children will be together at a game tract while the parents are in educational sessions. All children's tracts will be staffed by early childhood development teachers, trained in diabetes management. Adults Sessions Parents and other adult care-givers will have numerous educational sessions to select from, including sick day management, insulin pump therapy, blood glucose monitoring and why it's important, dealing with diabetes in school, how to work with your child's teacher, and many other topics. Each session will be led by a healthcare professional or specialist in diabetes. Diabetes Care at the Weekend Meal plans, including snacks, were considered when this event was planned and the menu was developed. Substitute meals will be available for children who do not like the menu. Families are encouraged to check their own glucose levels, administer insulin, and record all results prior to meals.
